Chapter 159: What the Huo Family is looking for
Liuzhang and Kui Ge waited until all the arrows were fired, and then they cautiously peeked out from behind the pillar, looking at the sarcophagus and the sarcophagus around it were already densely covered with arrows.
The sharp arrow was driven directly into the stone slab, which showed the sharpness and strength.
Almost all of the people they brought with them became hedgehogs, lying around the sarcophagus.
They cautiously walked up to the stone bridge, walked to the sarcophagus in the group of arrows, and pulled them one by one, but none of them survived, and the faces of the corpses began to turn black, even if they were not killed by the arrows, they could not escape the fate of poisoning.
Liuzhang suddenly looked down at his arm, the itching sensation began to spread from the wound, his eyes showed a trace of ruthlessness, and he pulled the arrow off his arm and threw it on the ground.
", it's poisonous!" he scolded.
Brother Kui grabbed his arm and tore open the sleeve of his shirt, only to see that the wound had turned black, and the blood flowing out was also black, and the black lines spread from the wound to both sides like a spider's web, and he couldn't help but gasp.
"Bear with me!" said Kuige, and then ripped off the sleeve of Liuzhang's coat, tore it into strips, and tied it up at the very top of his arm.
He tied the blood vessels in Liuzhang's arm to block the flow of blood, and took out a dagger and dug into the wound.
"Ahh
Brother Kui took a dagger to dig open the wound, stripped off the black flesh around it, and then took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, and a pill everywhere, crushed it with his hand and sprinkled it on the wound.
The black line stopped spreading, and Brother Kui breathed a sigh of relief, "We must get out as soon as possible, otherwise, you won't be able to save this arm!"
Liuzhang's head was covered with sweat, his lips were dry, and he felt that he had no strength to breathe.
"Brother Kui, save me three times and twice, thank you for your kindness, my life will be yours in the future!" said Liuzhang with a smile.
"Let's go out first!" Brother Kui patted Liuzhang's shoulder and said, then turned around and walked to the other end, poured out a few backpacks, and put the things he needed in an empty package, and put them on his back, "Let's go!"
Liuzhang left from the sarcophagus, even if the contents were valuable, they couldn't take care of it now, and it was important to save their lives.
Kui Ge walked around to the back of the sarcophagus, where there was a blank stone tablet, he looked back and forth, and took out a bag of explosives from his back bag.
"I didn't have time to find a mechanism, so I just exploded!" he said, putting away the explosives, lighting them and hiding behind the pillar around the corner.
After a while, there was a "boom", and a hole appeared in the wall behind the stele, but in doing so, they did not know where they touched the mechanism, and the dome above began to collapse, and the fine sand fell from the sky at such a fast speed that it was about to submerge the sarcophagus.
"Let's go!" Brother Kui pushed, the two ran a few steps, and drilled out of the hole, behind them, in an instant, the hole was flooded by fine sand, and the light went black.
Brother Kui turned on the flashlight and shone it forward, but he didn't expect this to be an underground cave, he looked back and forth, "Let's go!" He helped Liuzhang up, and the two walked forward.
As they walked along the cave, Rokujo took out his compass while he was resting and took a look, "It seems to be getting farther and farther away from the center point." He said a little weakly.
Brother Kui looked ahead, "No matter, let's go out first, and then talk about it, and have a chance to come again!"
"That's right!" Rokujo smiled bitterly.
He always thought that he had learned the skills of old wine, but he didn't expect that the first time he brought someone out to the tomb, he almost fell into the annihilation, and he was injured and hung up, what a fucking bad luck!
Brother Kui sat down, took out a bottle of water, drank a few sips of his own and handed it to Liuzhang, and lowered his eyelids after a few glances at him.
Liuzhang drank most of the bottle in one go, and then showed him the picture of the old wine again, and then put it back in his pocket, "I don't need it at all, I'll see if the two of us are fatal!"
Brother Kui smiled, turned his head and looked ahead again, "There should be something in front, maybe you can get out safely." ”
They didn't want anything out of the tomb now, they just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
"Okay, let's go, let's take a look ahead!" Rokujo stood up and looked at his arm, the whole arm had turned gray, although the poison did not continue to spread, but it affected his sense of touch, and it felt like the whole arm did not look like his own.
Brother Kui also stood up, and the two of them continued to walk forward one after the other with flashlights.
Faintly, they seemed to hear the sound of water, like the "rumbling" roar of a waterfall.
The two glanced at each other, and their steps quickened to the front, and after they came out of a karst cave, a huge deep stream appeared in front of them, and the underground river rushed down from them, falling into the bottomless deep stream.
The "rumbling" sound they heard was emitted by this waterfall.
There was no road ahead, and there was no way back, and for a while, the two of them were stunned.
They didn't expect their luck to be so bad and come to a dead end.
In the deep stream, there are many unknown underground plants, tightly clinging to the rocks, climbing vines spreading everywhere, and from time to time there are grasshopper-like animals in it, which disappear and disappear, drilling back and forth.
Brother Kui took out six copper coins from his pocket and sat on the spot, and Liuzhang also leaned on the rock wall and watched.
After six times, the hexagram was revealed.
It turned out to be a hexagram!
The separation hexagram is the thirtieth hexagram out of the sixty-four hexagrams.
Although it belongs to the middle and upper hexagrams, Brother Kui frowned slightly.
Separation is fire, echoing and relying on.
This hexagram is the same hexagram, (the lower is separated from the upper one) and overlapped, and the hexagram is like fire.
Liye, the meaning of attachment, one yin is attached to Li, up and down two yang, the hexagram symbolizes fire, inner space and outer light. Separation is fire, is bright, the sun rises and falls repeatedly, running endlessly, and supple is the heart.
The lower three hexagrams are the main hexagrams, representing the main side, and the upper three are the guest hexagrams, representing the guest side.
The principle of dependence expounded by the article is: When in the midst of danger and difficulty, we must cling to it, and only by finding support can we be safe; we should grasp the principle of neutrality and justice, and we should not take advantage of opportunistic shortcuts; we should realize that it is natural common sense to rise and sink life and death, and we should know that we will not seek trouble because we cannot get dependent; we should not take advantage of the danger of others and adopt coercive means to avoid inviting trouble; and we should not take advantage of the danger of others, so as not to invite trouble; and we should be obedient and moderate and vigilant at all times in order to turn danger into relief.
There are many hexagrams, and the meanings they explain are also different.
Therefore, in the hexagram, it is all based on people, discussed according to things, and cause and effect are reincarnated.
Kui Ge asked if they could leave smoothly and safely.
Therefore, he was a little surprised when he saw that the last hexagram turned out to be a hexagram from the inside out.
Does he have to go to the police who arrested them in the back to get out safely?
He didn't realize it himself, he didn't subconsciously count Liuzhang at all, even if he looked for a strong person to rely on, it wouldn't be Liuzhang.
"How's that?" Rokujo asked.
Brother Kui retracted his thoughts and sighed lightly, "It's not too good, it's not too bad, but I can get out anyway!"
"That's good!" Liuzhang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say this, and became even more curious about Brother Kui's ability.
After he followed Huo Kunting with Lao Jiu before, he also knew some details of the Huo family, and knew that they were a feng shui family with real skills.
But he didn't expect that an inconspicuous house slave of the Huo family had such a ability, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart.
Brother Kui put away the copper coin, looked around, stood up and looked down again, turned back and asked Liuzhang, "Have you ever encountered such terrain in the tomb before?"
Liuzhang smiled, "I have encountered it, but it was also before the tomb, about ten years ago, in Yun Province, the tomb that my master and I went to, we walked in the mountains for three days, encountered such terrain, and then found the real tomb, just one time, we only brought out two things, and the price you couldn't think of when they were sold!"
Brother Kui has no feeling for money, he has never needed to spend money, and he has never been short of money, as long as he needs it, he can't use the Huo family's money.
"And then? How did you get there? and how did you come out?" asked Kui Ge continued.
"What else can it be? In such a place, it's either up or down, what else can it be?" said Liuzhang funny, his face a little pale.
Although the poison of the wound did not continue to spread, it still had a great impact on him, let alone such a serious wound.
Brother Kui thought for a moment, kept pinching his fingers, then rummaged through his backpack and took out a bundle of rope.
"Now we have to go down and have a look!" said Brother Kui, holding the rope with one end tied to Liuzhang's waist and the other end tied to his own waist, he tried, "Can you still hold it? We can't stop!"
Liuzhang struggled to get up from the ground and hung the flashlight on a sleeve on his chest, "If you can't do it, you have to do it!"
The two of them walked along the cliff wall, clutching at the lush vines, and beside them were the rushing waterfall, and the splashing water vapor made their clothes damp.
There was no light in the deep stream, only the rays of two flashlights swaying slowly downward in mid-air.
Brother Kui was actually very reluctant to carry the burden of Liuzhang in his heart, but when he thought that he might be used when he went out, he could only try to let him live.
Liuzhang crawled down, his hands and feet were a little weak, his breathing gradually became heavy, and after holding his feet on a protruding rock, he looked at Brother Kui, "Brother Kui!" he shouted, "I have no strength!"
Brother Kui picked up the flashlight and shone it down, and found that there was an artificially built stone road below, and the distance was less than thirty meters.
"Hold on a little longer, and you'll be in it in no time. Kui Ge said.
Liuzhang looked down and nodded, "Okay!"
As they spoke, the two went down again.
When he was less than five meters from the ground, Liuzhang's hand slipped and the whole person fell, and even pulled Brother Kui down.
Brother Kui immediately gritted his teeth and clutched the vine in his hand, the vine kept scratching out in his hand, and the injured leaves and vine skin spit out drops of liquid, making the vine extremely slippery.
Brother Kui couldn't catch it at all, his hand slipped, and finally followed Liuzhang down.
The two fell to the ground on their backs, and they didn't slow down for a long time.
"Oops......" After a long time, Liuzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I fell to death." ”
Brother Kui also felt a sharp pain in his back, and he didn't come up in one breath, his face turned red, and then he exhaled a breath, and then he breathed hard.
He rolled over, feeling pain all over his body, fortunately there was a backpack behind his back, otherwise, he would probably have broken into a patty.
Less than ten meters, the distance is not high or low, but if it falls well, no one can stand it.
For a while, neither of them could move, so they lay on the spot panting.
Liuzhang suddenly asked: "Brother Kui, there is something I have always wanted to ask, you said that Huo Ye let us go down to this tomb, what kind of treasure are we looking for?" He didn't say it explicitly, he knew that he would just take two pieces outside. ”
Brother Kui didn't speak, his eyes stared at the darkness of the void above, listening to Liuzhang speak alone.
Liuzhang didn't know what to come in and take, but he knew.
Huo Kunting wanted something in the tomb, and in the early years, they were robbing the tomb everywhere looking for such a thing, that is, a recipe that recorded the elixir of immortality.
It may be paper, it may be juan, it may be bamboo slips, and it is more likely that it is a stone carving or tortoise shell.
In short, the Huo family has been looking for such a thing that I don't know what form it is.
